Judge Diddle, of Philadelphia, takes no slock in tlio theory that because a man has been brought tin well, surrounded with wholesome inlluenccs, nnd nlfordcd the ail vantages of a good education and good so ciety, ho must be the subject of sympathy when he goes wrong. In sentencing John Cooper to five years in the penitentiary for embezzling funds from the Decatur Build ing Association, Judge Ulddlo said: "There is what I regard ns a most unfortu nate impression abroad that, because a man has had a good reputation and has been surrounded by every advantage that cdu cation and association give, when ho com mils n crime nil these circumstances should bo taken in mitigatiou of puulshment. admit no such doctrine. When a poor Ig norant man who has never had these ad- antages, commits a crime, I have great sympathy for him. I have great sympathy for n man who steals a ham lo supply tho wants of his family or steals shoes to put on ids children's feet.

It is amusing to hear tlio Inquiries of the oung people concerning tlio locust, who ave become cosmopolitans since the hist advent of the insect. Their imaginations cannot clearly comprehend tho modui opcr andi ol the locust. They conclude from their knowledge of tho insect that general devastation will follow his track.

Communicated On Saturday last, tlio 4th Inst., a party of boys of this place, upon Invitation of the members of tho Lightstreet Baso Ball Club, visited Lightstreet for the purpose of play, ing a social game. Tho nine from this town was boys who had never, "with one exception," participated in n gamo of' baso ball and but a few of them had ever wit nessed a game. Upon their arrival there they found they were lo play an entirely different nine from the ono they expected to have ns opponents. The boys expecting defeat but walling to learn tho game and its rules, consented to play. They expected common courtesy from tho club and the people of Lightstreet, which they were far from receiving. Tho Lightstreet club hooted at their mistakes, and, with a couplo of exceptions, showed n disposition to wrangle and quarrel upon tho slightest provocation, nnd In fact, without any prov ocation at all. Their treatment of the um pire was, If possible, worse than their treat ment of the dub, and taken ns a whole, heir conduct wns a disgrace to tho town. Tho people of the town crowded upon the players whenever there was any ques tion in dispute and mouthed their opinions contrary to nil rules and usages of tho game. If tho members of tho Lightstreet club expect to be considered gentlemen In the field, they must, with afew exceptions, mend their ways. I am empowered to say, in behalf of tho players of Orangoville, that they will play Lightstreet on tho following conditions and arc ready to accept a challcngo from therm conditions. Both clubs aro to be composed ot men or boys, now residents of Orangoville, and Llghtitreet, respectively, and will play them a series of three or five games, as may bo mutually agreed upon, and thoy further promise Lightstreet if they visit Orangcvillc and act the part of gentlemen, they will bo treated as such.

Tho school board, at their last meeting, took a very important and praiseworthy step. While tho action of tlio board will1 necessarily Increase the school tat, yet It will meet tho npproval of every thinking person in the township. Tho directors have decided to put patent scats in every school house in the township which lias net such seals now. As but two buildings at present havo such sents nnd ns it has also been determined by tho board to erect two new buildings, tho expense to the township will bo considerable but the wants of the schools In tills respect should have been attended to long ago.
